حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ
Hadith of ‘Abdullah ibn Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him)
Hadith 18335
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِأَخٍ لِي مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ، فَكَتَبَ لِي جَوَامِعَ مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ ، أَلَا أَعْرِضُهَا عَلَيْكَ ؟ قَالَ : فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ ثَابِتٍ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : أَلَا تَرَى مَا بِوَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ ! فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى رَبًّا ، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا ، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَسُولًا ، قَالَ : فَسُرِّيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ ، لَوْ أَصْبَحَ فِيكُمْ مُوسَى ، ثُمَّ اتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي ، لَضَلَلْتُمْ ، إِنَّكُمْ حَظِّي مِنَ الْأُمَمِ ، وَأَنَا حَظُّكُمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّين " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) brought a book to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! While passing through Banu Qurayza, I met my brother who gave me some comprehensive sayings from the Torah in writing. Should I present them before you?" Upon this, the color of the blessed face of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed. I said to Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do you not see the face of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Seeing this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as our Messenger." Then that state of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ended. He then said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if Musa (Moses) were alive and you were to follow him, leaving me, you would surely go astray. You are my share among the nations, and I am your share among the Prophets."
